STANDING TOGETHER: Inez Milholland’s Final Campaign for Women’s Suffrage


ON VIEW NOVEMBER 8, 2025 through January 4, 2026


A selection of works from Jeanine Michna-Bales’ book, Standing Together: Inez Milholland’s Final Campaign for Women’s Suffrage (2016 – 2020) comprises this photography exhibition which creates a unique glimpse into the American Women’s Suffrage Movement, retracing the 1916 National Woman’s Party Campaign and highlighting one courageous suffragist’s (Inez Milholland) brutal journey crisscrossing the American west by train and motor car to persuade standing-room-only crowds to vote for the enfranchisement of women. Through her photographs, which combine dramatic landscapes, historical reenactments of important vignettes of Milholland’s journey, and archival materials, Michna-Bales captures a glimpse of the monumental effort required to pass the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
